Chelsea ace Lampard: It was a very positive result

He said after the match: “I think it was a very positive result, because we always knew it was going to be a tricky game.

“Schalke are a team with a lot of ability, and it was important to impose our style on them. I think we did that.”

“We’ve had a spell of adaptation under a new manager.

“Now I think we are beginning to adapt, and you are beginning to see our true strength.”
